Cannda's Explanations.

OrrAwA, Feb. 2.-The action taken by
the United States Senate regarding the
Fisheries Retalistory bill has aroused pub.
lie agitation, but tho Cabinet Ministers
are not dsauadei from continuing tho
course already pursued. The grounds on
which the Dominion authorities base their
action was explained to-day by Major Full
ton, Deputy Minister OF Fisheries. Re-
ferring to the distinction made by the
Canadian authorities 10 not according
unto American fishing vessels the same
right in Canadian waters and ports as
those granted to American trading vessels
he said: ..l s-s
"The Dominion Government under.
stood the spirit OF this portion OF the treaty
to refer to the preservation OF the mack
erel fisheries, for il fishing vessels were al
lowed to trans.ship their cargoes through
Canadian territory, they could discharge
a cargo and return 20 tho fishing banks
within "a hours, and would thus carry on
a wholesale system OF despoilstion which
would tend TO destroy the fisheries even
more than is now being done, while on
the other hand il compelled to 20 to the
United States territory before discharging,
it takes them at least "a days on the re-
turn journey and thus prevents such
rapid deapoilation as would otherwise
take place. The Government admitted
the right Of American fishermen to these
deep eea fisheries, but the framing Of this
particular portion oil the treaty WAS under
stood to have the preservation OF the fiah-
eries which wero really international
property in view"

New YoRH, Feb. 2.-The streets along
the river fronts this morning presented q
sunday.like appearance: Instead OF the
daily rush Of vehicles Of all kinds in
every direction there were only few
trucks and the horse cars to be seen here
and thore. The majority Of big railroad
freight receiving aud delivery piers we're
closed and work was almost suspended.
The exception was in the case OF pier s Of
the Pennsylvania Company, where dozen
men were put TO work by Agent Bowman.
The men seemed los. amid the huge piles
OF freight. The one pair Of gates that
were open on tho stock were guarded by
police. Piers 10 and lG, OF tho same road,
were also closed, and ut pier ., Of the Ls-
high Valley road the gates were closed,
At tho New York Central and Hudson
river pier the agent said they wero re-.
Ceiving all the freight offered, There yas
no trouble with the men.
The New York, Lake Erie and Wcetern
Railroad pier had few men q. work, but
at the Office it was stated that they were
taking and delivering NIL the freight OF.
tered. On the S.arln pier, whore the
freight Of the Delaware, Lsckawanna and
Western Is handled, thero was many
poliesmen on duty, rs there were Itnlians
handling freight. Tho Superintendent
said he had all tho men he needed. There
was plenty Of help on the Boston and
Providence pier, but their boa.s wero not
running, and the freight was light. Tho
Stonington line had men at work. Tho
boat Nashua was laid up, bu. no work
was being done on her. The dock of the
Now York Central Railroad waB almost
deserted. The men at work were part
OF gang of Italians brought down the
river yesterday. The Metropolitan line to
Boston was moving freight, but there was
very little to handle. Tho Arizona, Of the
Guion line, arrived to-day, and men will
be put to work on her. The Wyoming,
tho agent said, would sail to-day. The
Eldcrado, OF the Morgan line, arrived lsst
night. AS soon ss the Ell Paso and New
York are unloaded the Eldorsdo will BIZ
brought to her dock.
Along the Elst River front the sans
difficulty was experienced in moving
freight as on the North River. The cit.
uation in Brooklyn was unchanged and
matters were very quiet. Italian lahorers
who fill the places OF strikers were unmo.

QUE NAVY (O

a few da?s ago the Admiral of the
Navy had sent to distinguished member
Of the House letter in which the astound.
ing statement was made that the United
States Government had got only one ship
that could in three months do nery;ce, and
that ship had only one single gun. The
Dolphin was the only vessel that the Gov.
eminent had got which could be put to sea
within three months. And yet come per.
sons were crying out against n surplus
in the Treasury. Tha country was with
out Notifications on the coast. All the
great seaports Of tho country could bs
raided by fifth rate naval poSer-by
Chill, China, Japan or Spain. Not only
that, but every city on the Great Lakes
was equally exposed. Under the treaty
with Great Britain tho United States had
agreed 10 keep upon those lakes but one
war vessel, snd he understood that that
vessel to-day had only cast iron gun,
which Was used to announce the rising
and the setting OF the sun, and was scarce.
ly good for that. England could put on
the Great Lakes fleet which could de.
strOy every town on those lakes in
"a hours. By tho Welland canal, England
had access to the lakes and could send
the iron clads and war vessels and bonn.
bard Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and all
the greSt cities oil the lakes. Was it wis.,
dom therefore or vas it worth willis for
the Senate to spend its time in dotorniu.
ing what should be the reduction OF the
revenue, when there waa necessity for
such vast expenditure. England,
France and Russia possessed between
them lS,OO0 high power naval guns, while
the United States could boas: Of but 20.
We hsve gone on in this way, Mr., Te!-

authorities to surrender it,or auiier tho de.

Yet, Congress sat on from day to day
and considered whether the tax might

internal taIea be repealed. It wSs the

We rsthsr prefer reciprocal relations, a
treaty that will permit our fishermen to
